Too Insecure to Give Him My Number
Saturday May 10, 2008
Dear Mona,
I like this boy. Of course I can't know if he is gay or not, because we are total strangers. I see him 3 days a week during class. After exams he is going to a new school and I’ll never see him again. I am thinking of various ways to approaching him mostly anonymous, like following him to his house to see where he lives or slipping an anonymous letter with my email address or mobile phone number in his bag. I haven't done anything yet, but time is running short and I don't know what to do! I'm really crazy for this guy!
PS: I'm a very shy and insecure, so I don't think I will have the courage to confront him directly.
Dear Desperate Diva,
Crushes come and go, but restraining orders are forever. Don’t stalk the guy or slip him an anonymous note. You don’t even know if he’s gay or if you’ll even like him, for that matter.

Look Diva… Mona’s right. You’re a shy guy, as are most gay men. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Approach this one while you can, see if there’s a spark. If he starts giving you attention, you may have something. Otherwise, move on. Good Luck!!
I would approach the person I was interested in, begin a conversation, and make it clear (without being offensive or too Forward), what my intentions were. I beleive the worst thing that could happen is being told “no”. Fine. Move on.
